What is medical microneedling?
Medical microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Does microneedling hurt?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. A numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure a more comfortable experience.

What is the downtime after microneedling?
There is minimal downtime. You may experience redness and mild swelling similar to a sunburn for 24–48 hours. Most people resume normal activities within a day.

How many sessions are needed for best results?
While noticeable improvements can be seen after one session, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.

When will I see results?
Some improvements may be visible within a few days, but collagen production continues for several weeks, with full results appearing after 4–6 weeks.

Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes, microneedling is generally safe for all skin tones and types. However, those with active acne, infections, or certain skin conditions should consult a professional before treatment.

Is microneedling safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Microneedling is not recommended during pregnancy due to the body’s altered healing response and potential risks associated with numbing agents or post-care products. However, some providers may approve it during breastfeeding with certain precautions.

How long do microneedling results last?
Results can last several months to a year, depending on skin type, age, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Maintenance treatments every 3–6 months can help prolong the benefits.

​What is the difference between at-home derma rollers and professional microneedling?
At-home derma rollers use shorter, less effective needles and do not penetrate deeply enough to stimulate collagen production significantly. Professional microneedling uses medical-grade devices that reach deeper layers of the skin for better, safer, and longer-lasting results.

Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
It is best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow the skin to heal and reduce the risk of irritation or infection. Mineral-based makeup is typically the safest option when you do start wearing it again.
